Breaking Changes

• Eclipse Kura v5.1 does not introduce API breakage with previous releases.
• The H2DB package has been updated from 1.4.199 to 2.1.210 in response to CVEs that affected the dependency. The new package introduces breaking changes (documented in https://github.com/eclipse/kura/pull/3728), both in database persistence format and behaviour, that will make existing persisted databases not usable with the latest version. Manual migration is required as the H2db project does not provide an automated upgrade solution. 

Deprecated APIs

• org.eclipse.kura.position.PositionService (Partial)
• org.eclipse.kura.net.NetworkService (partial)
• org.eclipse.kura.net.wifi.WifiConfig (partial)
